[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1468673, member: 14585"] Maid service employees are bonded and insured, value of rings covered had they not been returned. The fine goes to the government, not the victim. I know $60 doesn't seem like much to all on here that think paying over $90 an hour for labor is peanuts. But to $7.50 hr employee it's a days pay... 8 hrs x 7.50 = 60 It's not like the thief was a mugger or burglar, but a person struggling daily in a low wage job, so I give her credit for at least trying to pull her own weight in life. Doubt that I would've been moved by defendant's story in the same way as the jury, depends on how it's told. Jury bought into it, but they still imposed a felony conviction... but with mercy. Jury wasn't asked to pay the fine, it was their own idea. They put their money where their mouth is, so I'm fine with their decision. [/QUOTE]
